Forgive me community it is not my sincere wish to feed this troll but ...

Mr. Lu "PAY ATTENTION" to how Vladimir presented his contribution and his
concerns to the list. It may guide you to address your concerns with your
allocation.

1. Noticed how he used diplomacy to negotiate unnecessary document requests
for justification for resources.

2. Noticed how he introduced his organisation to the community and how they
intend to contribute to the AfriNIC service region.

If you really beleive you have a case of defamation bring it on.

cheers

K.
